Winter conditions by Dettifoss
At the beginning of October it started to snow at Dettifoss and temperature dropped below zero. This means that, even though there may be warmer days in between, winter conditions can still be expected until spring. The conditions of the trails in the area can therefore change often and quickly due to quick changes in the weather. For safety reasons, the trails near the edges of the canyon have been closed for the winter. Instead, a winter route to the viewing platform north of the waterfall has been opened.
From the platform north of the waterfall is a very good view towards Dettifoss and the canyons. The hiking trail to Selfoss is also open.
We ask all our guests to assess the conditions at all times, be careful and respect the closures.
Spikes are important when hiking in these conditions.
